Comment 3 for bug 555881

I now can't get past this error while installing the release version of Kubuntu 10.04.

I have a separate /boot partition that I did not wish to format during installation in case something went wrong. The drive has partitions for Windows, swap, /home, /usr/local, and two partitions for the operating systems. One is occupied by 9.10, the other was created to hold 10.04.

The first time I ran the installer everything worked as expected with the 10.04 kernel images added to the grub menu. However I need to reinstall after making some manual changes to the authentication files in /etc that seemed to cause problems for dbus. All subsequent attempts to install following the same procedure as before now results in the ubiquity error during the installation of grub.
